playing the president as mitt romney prepares for the debate tonight. and he told cnn in an exclusive interview, it is his job to get under the candidate's skin and prepare him for the toughest attacks. portman has been the g.o.p. go-to guy for years. since 2000 he's played al gore, jon lieberman, john kerry and john edwards and now president obama. pretty malleable guy. he's reportedly been helping romney work on not getting overly defensive which is his weak point. he then tends to say things he wishes he hadn't. everyone has an opinion as to what to look for tonight. prettyies could -- politico has five things. first, can romney get aggressive without attacking. last thing he wants to do is come across snide or smug. how hard can the president push without getting too negative. he's not a big romney fan. we'll see if he can mask that true contempt. how will they handle the 47% libya, has the president had

think he's going to have a badminton racket he holds up? but in all honesty, mitt romney -- before like two weeks ago, three weeks ago all he had to do, people were saying this could be a preturning point. pre47 remark, prepancake pre-paul ryan saying no, it's not 47%. it's 30% of americans don't want to work and are lazy. and glom off of everybody. which, by the way, would be freeloaders -- everybody on unemployment plus 20%. so to be real clear about that. downplaying this now in the last week it's been -- if mitt doesn't deliver this is it. this is not a guy who -- can hand that will kind of pressure. >> stephanie: fortunately, he's such a natural. he's so authentic in every situation. and his wife said he's going to lose it. >> ann, how do you feel? >> stephanie: i think everything will be fine.

who's that. >> i became a forever fan at that rally. you are so smart and so hilarious and so pervy. >> stephanie: thank you. obviously people know you best. you played everybody's wife. ray charles' wife -- >> that's right. i would be both of those guys oscars by playing their wife. i'm a good luck charm. >> stephanie: exactly. and now -- maybe -- let's talk first about abc scandal is terrific. you play the head of a p.r. -- like a crisis p.r. firm, right? >> yeah. basically, the character is inspired by a real life woman named judy smith who used to work in the first bush white house. deputy press secretary. when she left, she started doing this damage control work and she's worked with everybody from monica lewinsky to michael vick. so on the show, people walk into copen and associates, the most

powerful people in the world. the worst day of their lives and they say fix it! and that's what we do. and it's all kind of complicated by the fact that my character used to not only work at the white house but used to have an inappropriate relationship with the president of the united states. judy did not. which judy did not. but things have been sort of hot and heavy between them and they're both trying to do the right thing but you know, there is a real connection there. it is fun. >> stephanie: you fictional little tart you. now, kerry -- >> did you not have an affair with the president or you're spinning that because you're in character? >> no, no, no. i'm always careful -- i don't want to get judy in trouble although i always have wanted to be a fly on the wall the very first time that they found the episode. how did they respond to that? >> it was right after he barfed on the japanese prime minister and there was this moment where -- >> stephanie: guessing there

was a frying pan involved. kerry, would your character be able to fix the mitt romney campaign? it just -- full-on crisis. >> it is so funny because there's a lot of talk on twitter about that. our show is a big social media following. we live feed every week when the show is on with the hash tag ask scandal. and my twitter is at kerry washington. we have a lot of fans on the internet. they call themselves gladiators. people are constantly tweeting me about working for mitt romney. and i guess it's not -- it's not completely out of the realm of possibility because olivia pope, the white house she worked in, was a republican white house. the president on our show is republican. and she believes in working on both sides of the aisle. >> stephanie: right. >> but she doesn't take on things that she knows she can't win. >> stephanie: right. well -- you know, for instance,

that 47% videotape came across your desk, you would say -- you just said to half the country [ bleep ] you? you said what? >> well also, you know the thing about olivia pope is that she doesn't take on a client who she doesn't think really genuinely wants to do the right thing. she takes on people who may have done the wrong thing. bad people sometimes do great things. but she says to someone until you're ready to be fully honest and take responsibility, i can't work with you. so you know, that all has a big question mark around whether she would work with that campaign. >> stephanie: in 2009, you were appointed by president obama to the president's committee on arts and the humanities. look at you and your fancy self. [ laughter ] >> yes. i was actually working with the white house when i got the script the first time and i thought oh my gosh, i don't know if i can do a show where

she's having an affair with the white house when i'm working with the white house. that seems a little too weird and the creator of the show who also created grey's anatomy and private practice said the president on our show is republican and he's white. i was like i'm in! [ laughter ] >> stephanie: well, kerry you and i were out there obviously on the trail in 2008. and you know, i love how there's all of these media story lines. there is an enthusiasm gap. i don't see it. when i've been out there it looks like the polling numbers are showing that, there's every bit as much enthusiasm for the president this time around. >> i think sometimes you know, the media is a powerful voice and sometimes there are misleading messages out there. i do think that what's important is that we not be -- i think there is a lot of enthusiasm but you know, nothing's like your first time. so i think, you know, people were voting for the first time four years ago volunteering.

it may seem like there an enthusiasm gap but i don't think there is. people are now engaged. they now just know it is their business and that they need to pay attention and they need to be involved. wow. it is like no, i care and i'm present. we need to make sure we stay present. >> stephanie: i was behind a car yesterday that i couldn't see the driver, there were so many obama stickers. one of every kind of obama sticker. >> interestingly enough, i've heard a lot of chatter that people who weren't enthused to vote for obama last time, either they were hillary supporters or they were just unsure about his -- the fact that he had a short term in the senate, a short term in the state senate, that kind of thing are now actually looking at his record and going he did some tough things and he's actually -- they're actually more enuse thissed this time around. legitimate. >> stephanie: now we're both. i'm an obama 2012 and a hillary 2016 supporter. so we've all managed to come together. >> totally.

totally. >> stephanie: kerry, look at the numbers we were just talking about. women backing obama 56% to 38%. black voters 94% to 2. hispanics, 73% to 21. >> that number blew me away! >> stephanie: the story line, he's losing white people. no. support is exactly the same as in 2008. so you know -- yeah, in the end -- seriously enough, her character, interesting that i don't -- in regard to your question earlier, i don't think she would take on mitt romney in so far as -- i need to fix this with latinos because he doesn't actually want to change it. it's all verbal. that's the problem with their campaign right now is that they think that zingers and catchphrases can turn around what everybody knows are the actual policy of the romney campaign. >> stephanie: that's it, isn't it kerry? what hal said. the 47% wasn't a gaffe. it is their -- that's their policies really. >> yeah. i mean i think you know, this

may seem like an awkward place to quote oprah but oprah -- when they tell you who they are listen. i think that is super important. >> stephanie: yeah. that's exactly right. and really in some ways, believe me a lot of conservatives are cheering those remarks and saying double down on them. yes. time to have this conversation. >> yeah. it is a little bit scary. i think it is part of what's so interesting about our show. i feel like at this point where we're so oversaturated with these political and diddals -- scandals film because there is no privacy anymore. the fact that you can't say anything in private. you shouldn't think at a fund-raiser you're going to say something in private but i think as a culture we so are kind of filled to the brim with scandal. and the show gives you a peek behind the curtain into how do

people really deal with this? when this stuff goes down, who is the person that decides what you hear about on the news? what it is that makes it into the newspaper. who blocks the bloggers? who sort of shapes the interviews on late night television? who tells the person what to wear in court to help the verdict go their way. all of that stuff. so it is actually fascinating to me to see people have such a difficult time when there are so many resources around to kind of make this work. it is amazing. it is amazing. >> stephanie: i think -- the fact that he looked so demonstrably more comfortable in that crowd. this is him in his element talking to the 1%, right? >> wow. that's a great observation. yeah, just the body language right? >> stephanie: that's what i mean. you go this isn't something he goofed. he went on and on, he expounded on his comments. kerry, what do you think with the debates? obviously, i guess chris

christie went offmessage and said it is going to be a whole new day. he wasn't playing the lowering expectation game. he thinks mitt romney is going to turn this around tonight. >> yeah. i am excited. i mean i think this is going to be great great television. i'm excited to see which version of him we get. you know. it is going to be -- it is going to be really fascinating. because i do think there is a level of -- i was saying four years ago everybody was saying how horrible and stupid sarah palin -- i think she's kind of an amazing performer. kind of. it is breathtaking. >> stephanie: that's the right word. >> so i'm interested to see what unfolds tonight for sure. >> stephanie: you know -- >> people always ask me because i'm somebody who does work with the white house what are the obamas like? what is president obama like?

what you see is what you get. they are the real deal. they're completely authentic. they have the country's best interests at heart. and you know, i guess it is funny to kind of know how authentic and genuine and good-spirited the white house is. the obama white house and then to work on a show where it is just like nothing but scandal and behind the scenes secrets. it really is a fictionalized version of it all. >> stephanie: i'm excited for tonight. and you know this is the president took out bin laden. i'll bet he's terrified of mitt romney's zingers don't you think? >> yeah! >> stephanie: he's been practicing zingers. >> there's no way your character would recommend zingers as a way to fix the problem. [ laughter ] >> of this magnitude. >> very classy. >> stephanie: even worse than that is letting the news leak that you've been practicing

zingers. for months. >> here come the zingers. >> stephanie: raising expectations game. yikes. kerry, are you going to the big obama concert this sunday? >> i'm not sure. i'm actually working on sunday so we'll see. we'll see if i can get up there or not. >> stephanie: they don't have any big names. katy perry earth wind and fire, bon jovi, jennifer hudson, don't feel bad if you miss it. >> crazy. well people are so inspired by this president and by all that he achieved. and such high stakes in this election. i think people quite honestly, i don't care which side of the aisle you're voting on just make sure you show up because i truly believe the president cares about most of this country, is president obama. so if everybody shows up and it is a fair race, we will win this race. that's what i think is so shocking about voter

suppression. there is one side who is saying you know what? no matter who you are everybody get out there and vote. there's another side that is trying to take away people's political voices. when one party says we believe in everybody's right to vote and another side says we'll try to make this difficult for certain people because we want to win. i want the people in the white house to believe in all of america to participate in the democracy. >> stephanie: by the way kerry, a right a lot of people have died for. >> i say that all the time because as a woman i think about susan b. anthony going to prison in petticoats and a corset sitting in a jail somewhere so that i could have the right to vote. black people who risked their lives and had buses blown up so i could exercise that right. >> stephanie: may i say one thing? corsets and petticoats, the original war on women. know what i'm saying? >> one of my favorites. >> i did this film over the summer, the new tarrant tino

film -- tarantino film -- it is very exciting. and i had to put on those clothes from that period and i did. no wondter took us to long to get the vote. you can barely breathe. you can't even eat in this stuff. you can't get enough oxygen to your brain that's why women were fainting all the time. >> stephanie: i don't care if i vote. my ass itches. kerry washington, star of abc's scandal. of course, the obama campaign trail. kerry, always a thrill to talk to you. thanks so much. >> thank you. so great to talk to you. thank you for all you're doing. >> stephanie: you, too. we'll talk again real soon. thanks kerry. [ applause ] >> stephanie: she's awesome. awesome, smart. >> petticoats and corsets just for fun. good look for me. >> basically, if a woman -- the problem -- gentlemen, we must gather around. the problem we have with women is they have two fleet of foot.

they can run too quickly and get away from us. the chubbier and more disgusting i get, the quicker they run. we need to tighten their lungs up and put heels on them that will make them fall down. >> stephanie: shoes they can't run in. right back on hump days with hal on "the stephanie miller show." >> i love it. it's's fabulous program. >> announcer: it's "the stephanie miller show." presents coverage of the presidential debate. with unrivaled analysis and commentary. >> you're going to hear that used as a major talking point.

the people. i've demonstrated that throughout my life. >> no, view. >> stephanie: the polls are showing exactly the opposite. you that is the part that drove me nuts. paul ryan said 70% of americans get more benefits from the federal government in dollar value than they pay back in taxes. so you could argue we're at a moral tipping point. okay. for the record, let's clear the decks. everybody, rich or poor, gets more from the federal government than they put in taxes because warren buffett doesn't have to suit up and go to afghanistan. you can't put a price tag on a dead soldier ultimately. you also can't put a price tag on the benefits overall for your business of the fact that there is a highway om -- system or a federal electrical grid. the idea that anybody puts a dollar in and gets a dollar back or more -- >> stephanie: he just said during a rally yesterday paul ryan the same thing. it is dividing -- he basically

was saying only business owners work hard and make this country grow. >> you're the only ones that get up at 5:00 a.m. only americans working hard and taking risks to make the country grow -- you know, he basically -- he was echoing the 47% remarks. here he is. >> if you have a small business, you didn't build it. >> stephanie: he didn't say that. >> all we mean is that nobody else gets up at 5:00 a.m. and opens the doors. >> what? >> nobody else works seven days a week. nobody else takes the risks. nobody else meets the payroll. nobody else goes to the bank. these are businesses that are built by the sweat and toil and hard work of workers in this country of businesses this country. that's what makes this country grow. >> hear that anybody who works at a fast food restaurant that has a manager open it up. do you think the franchise owner is getting up every day and unlocking the starbucks on every corner? >> stephanie: this is my business. i don't think i work harder because you guys have to work with me. >> half the time we're here before you are.

21st century super pac. sadly in spite of the mounting evidence that congressman akin has a profound disrespect for women and a total ignorance of the female anatomy he is running for senate in missouri and the polls show they're still pretty close. he and senator mccaskill are within one point according to the latest poll on real clear politics mccaskill up by just one. cnn out with more specifics as to what we can expect in tonight's debate. the commission on presidential debates does have strict rules. moderator jim lehrer will open each 15-minute segment with a question and each candidate will have two minutes to answer. lehrer will use the remaining time for follow-up questions and discussion. the candidates are not allowed to ask each on or about questions. -- to ask each other questions. he and mitt romney will alternate. we have not yet gotten the rules on our stephanie miller predetate show. i assume there will be more conversation between us than that. we're back after the break. stay with us.

women that aren't pregnant. >> on the house floor in 2008, he gave a big ole speech. he said that doctors who perform abortions or abortionists he called them, the lowest on the food chain and they perform these abortions in kits with unsanitary conditions and that they perform them on women who don't need them. because i can't think of anything i would rather do with a free day than get an abortion i don't need. >> stephanie: right. >> which would be yeah, then you get a coupon. how does that work? when you terminate a pregnancy that you're not pregnant. >> stephanie: he's not only too dumb to be a senator but he's too dumb to not injure himself eating pudding with a rubber spoon. >> isn't that a biological impossible? >> it is biologically impossible as is the fact that the body doesn't shut down pregnancy from rape. this is what we're talking about. the man said that claire mccaskill was not as lady-like in her current debate. he had such a profound

disrespect for women and ignorance of the female anatomy. >> stephanie: you only say because you're a little wildcat aren't you? >> i'm female. >> i wonder what the lovely and talented mrs. akin thinks about all of this? >> she married him. she's been with him for a long time. >> stephanie: presumably not a wildcat. presumably very lady-like. >> kept her in a jar in formaldehyde. >> stephanie: how many times have we had that conversation. you want to get a pedicure? no, i'm going to get an abortion. >> i'm going to do my laundry. >> get my uterus scraped. >> sounds like fun. >> like getting your tires rotated. >> stephanie: sure. why not. >> anything like scraping feet? >> eww! >> stephanie: then i'm going to make chicken pepperoni. jacki, thank you for that breathtaking -- >> is this what i can expect this afternoon? >> stephanie: we'll see you at 4:00 p.m. pacific for our

they just uncovered the police report which contradicts romney's version of events. the officer told him not to launch his boat. this is the story. because his license was painted over. the officer told romney if he put his boat in the water, he would face a fine. romney felt his license was visible and decided to ignore the officer and pay the fine. $50, i wipe my ass with that. >> he launched the boat even though it was the wrong thing to do. >> stephanie: the cop came and handcuffed him and took him -- >> so romney as president conceivably will do anything he wants even though it is the wrong thing to do. >> as long as he thinks it is the right thing to do. that's more important than the law. >> we've gotten into trouble with that before, haven't we? >> yeah. >> never mind the dress up like a police officer which is actually a federal crime. and pulling people over.

>> stephanie: different rules. sherry in louisiana. >> caller: good morning. >> stephanie: hello. >> caller: good morning. >> stephanie: go ahead. >> caller: two comments. we have five days in louisiana to register to vote. so everybody get out and vote. >> stephanie: do it. >> caller: we've got a big uptick on independent voters. you know. that's good to hear down here in the reddest state. one more thing. wasn't it several years back they talked about this national i.d. and they said no, no, we can't do that because that's against our privacy. so why now is it okay for us to have to have this i.d.? >> because they want to do it on a state level because they can deny it point to point using governorships because once -- the problem is state constitutions can act -- that's why when they talk about state's rights they talk about women's rights and race rights.

states can make attempts in subtle ways to cut away at the rights of women and minorities regularly without massive intervention by the federal government. it takes a lot -- >> stephanie: this is why we've been winning in the courts in and most recently in pennsylvania. did you see this in -- republican candidate posts his gun on facebook with a -- it says welcome to tennessee mr. obama. republican nominee for congress defending his message on fis -- facebook. >> i was inferring to a threat to be implied later. my foot. brad i just fing shot myself. >> stephanie: good lord, no when asked if he had threatened

the president. absolutely not. i'm not one of those who would ever threaten the president. he's probably got enough of his own stuff. >> when the secret service shows up at your door, it won't be pictures of guns. >> stephanie: he later wrote on facebook his remarks had been -- >> taken out of context. >> it was a picture. >> what context did he mean that in? >> those 1,000 words were represented in the picture. which one was taken out of context? >> stephanie: proud of his gun. wanted to show it to the president. >> i've got news for gun owners. big second amendment fans. this has been one of the most pro gun presidents you've ever had. he's not doing any extra gun restrictions even in the face of -- >> stephanie: you know who did more? romney. >> even bush one and ronald reagan. >> stephanie: hello rosie. rosie in texas. >> are you there?

>> stephanie: let's try allison in washington state. hi allison. >> caller: hi, how are you? >> stephanie: good. >> caller: i think the whole nation should do it how washington state does it. when we vote, we all get mail-in ballots. you can go to a poll. there are a few available. you don't have to go to the poll and make your decision there. you just get at home. you can sit down and review the candidates and their initiatives and vote at your own leashure. we don't have any problems. i.d. is our signature. >> you still have to have a polling place because the homeless, they can vote as well. >> we do. we have a few polling places. a lot -- you know, it is -- a lot fewer. it saves money too. >> sure. >> you don't have to staff all of the polling places. >> quite frankly we're getting way closer to that because if you look at quote-unquote early voting, the way a lot of people

are doing that is through absentee voting. i have bal ballot mailed to my home. >> stephanie: i sometimes wait until i get in there. do we have to know this? how many propositions are there? then you have to read the whole thing there. >> they won't let you take a copy of the l.a. weekly in there with you. >> i brought all kinds of -- >> stephanie: can i bring study materials in? >> yeah. >> stephanie: it is ridiculous system we have out here. [ ♪ "world news tonight" ♪ ] would you like unicorns that fart glitter. >> would you like to raise taxes? >> no. that's why we're broke. yes, i want this. no, i don't want that. that sounds bad. you can't leave it up to us to govern. >> we have representatives for a reason to do that stuff for us. to make the decisions for us. >> stephanie: all right. i think they make them deliberately confusing.

vote no on yes and vote maybe on yes. the commercials make it confusing. >> that's what they're supposed to be doing. that's the problem with -- once this system was set up, it became immediately rigged the next day. the manipulation obviously prop 8 supported -- >> stephanie: large people thought they were voting for marriage equality. >> it was supported by money from outside the state. mormon money from utah. and evangelical dollars. >> stephanie: hey wendell. >> caller: how are you doing? >> stephanie: good. >> caller: i just voted for our regular, you know, for our state and there was more democrats this time that voted than republicans. that just tells you that the state of new hampshire is no longer under koch brothers. because i understand that the koch brothers tried to get -- tried to -- you know, get us to vote, you know, republican. >> absolutely.

they figured it was an easy win because it is a small state and the dollars would go further. when you're broadcasting and use offing broadcast television, you get more bang for your buck in the smaller states because you do it in montana you have to do all of the stations. >> stephanie: they're saying there are too many democrats. there's more democrats than republicans. that's why -- >> there are a lot of independents who are actual republicans who just refuse to say it because they're so embarrassed by a, mitt romney and b the bush years that if you say you're a republican, really, you voted for bush twice? >> stephanie: romney has lower approval rating than george bush now? [ wah wah ] >> three and a half years to get cute. >> stephanie: guy in north carolina. hi guy. >> caller: first, i got a zinger for you. >> stephanie: okay great. thanks for warning us. >> caller: the reason mitt was so brown was road flare mary told him to go smoke her dildo.

now i have a question. i flipped over during your last commercial break and -- over to the nice network. and people were -- they were talking about the security briefing that obama had missed over 60% of his since january. and bush had gone to all of his. >> they're still on that? oh god. >> caller: how do they know -- if it is security, they should be secure. >> stephanie: just a point of order here, we did have the worst national security failure in our history on george bush's watch. maybe he wasn't paying attention. >> a little kerfuffled. >> the president gets a briefing every single day. when he gets up in the morning that's one of the first things they do. the big sit-down where they gather it all together and do one big picture that strategy meeting can be done in washington at the pentagon or which is what they're talking about or it can be done on air force i during the -- but it --

>> stephanie: apparently there is technology on air force one. >> log in at the pentagon versus anywhere else. >> stephanie: i love that they make it sound like when he's on air force i he's on southwest. doesn't have access. >> they don't have wi-fi on southwest. >> reno. milwaukee. >> stephanie: brent in illinois welcome. >> caller: good morning, stephanie. i wanted to make the point that whenever somebody calls obama the welfare president, you have to realize that food stamps are really a subsidy for big agribusiness. it is not really -- it does provide an entitlement of sorts but it really makes archer daniels midland and those companies very happy. it enables them -- it is basically corporate welfare. >> right. because it guarantees food stocks in a lot of what you can get with those which is why they try to limit them by the way is stuff that's bought here.

corn products and the like. the list of what you're able to buy with food stamps has been narrowed to make it stuff that we can get you know, very easily. >> stephanie: brent, are you calling -- >> he's calling from space. >> stephanie: are you calling from a wind tunnel? >> caller: oh, probably. >> stephanie: 46 minutes after the hour. right back with the remaining moments of hump days with hal on "the stephanie miller show." >> the place where dreams come true. >> announcer: it's "the stephanie miller show."

>> stephanie: it says something when you're losing -- a state that knows you best by 30 points. >> caller: there are a few. there are some yard signs around that say romney. i don't know why. but there are a few out there. >> stephanie: those are just the houses romney owns. >> caller: maybe that's it. the ones he has mortgages on. they pay the mortgage to him. >> the ones with car elevators. >> stephanie: eric in tampa. hi eric. >> caller: hey, stephanie. thank you for taking my call. >> stephanie: yes, go ahead. >> caller: it is hard to be surprised with anything that conservatives are saying now but paul ryan really said it all when he answered that question about whether or not the 47% should pay taxes. he affirmed that he believes exactly what romney is saying. that's not the point. suggesting that soldiers infantrymen who were under fire right now who don't make enough money to pay federal income tax that they should commute home on the weekends?

>> stephanie: exactly. >> caller: should women be forced to -- >> keep in mind when he says we should have let the foreclosure system buy them out -- >> stephanie: yeah. >> keep in mind there were a lot of soldiers fighting currently in afghanistan and iraq at the time who were losing their homes because they weren't making enough money because they were away. people in the nationalguard over there and people -- he was saying just dump it, let it go. thousands of soldiers fighting for our freedom lost their house. >> stephanie: you hobos hurry up and get out of your houses. >> you 30% welfare staters. >> stephanie: chris in oklahoma. welcome. >> caller: i'm just wondering why are you guys so pro obama? why do you paint him to be such a savior of the nation. >> stephanie: where would you like us to start? let's see. osama bin laden dead. g.m. alive. he has added 4.6 million jobs.

>> have you looked at the stock market lately? 40 months of continued job growth? if you actually look at the job growth graph, if you had taken out the failures of the bush years, if you had taken out the wreck that they caused, the job growth would be extraordinary and on a level beyond almost any modern president. >> stephanie: why do you think he's doing such a bad job? >> caller: i wouldn't say he's done such a bad job. i just know that i saw on the news a day or two ago that he was voted the worst president ever. >> by whom? >> stephanie: excuse me? >> by whom? >> stephanie: you're thinking of george w. bush. >> wait one second. >> stephanie: chris, i'm sorry. you saw that where? >> caller: i believe it was on cnn. >> who took the survey? >> caller: i do not remember. >> probably find that out. >> by the way so you -- you don't think he's done a bad job but you think this vote is more important than your opinion? >> caller: i don't think he's done a great job.

>> stephanie: how come mitt romney is so far behind in the polls? >> caller: i'm not a romney supporter. do not get me wrong. >> stephanie: i'm saying if he is the worst president ever, you would think he would be doing worse. >> what would you classify yourself as? >> anarchist. >> well then why are you even calling into a political show? >> because you don't care about politics. >> if you don't care -- >> caller: it is not that i don't care. >> you're just not involved. >> either way this election goes, it's not going to go well. >> why would you call in and care? >> stephanie: you're sort of pro general chaos is what you're saying. >> caller: no. i'm pro freedom and i live in a country where freedom is an illusion. >> stephanie: okay. >> freedom from traffic laws. >> you want yellow stripes in the road. >> stephanie: doesn't like rules of any kind. >> that damn fire department. >> stephanie: kind of amazing

hear all of this, bonnie? >> i'm hearing it -- i'm seeing it on youtube. >> stephanie: ah yes. >> because youtube never lies. >> i tell you one thing too, as far as i'm concerned, barack obama is my hero because of the fact that he saved general motors for my husband and retired after 38 years. >> stephanie: there you go. that's all you need to know. if he didn't save them, all of the retirees would have lost everything. >> stephanie: that's right. so back slowly away from the youtube. >> not an accident why romney didn't want that to happen. that's why they wanted it to go bankrupt so they could wipe all of the ledger out. >> stephanie: back away from the interweb. all right. that's it for us. i would like to thank chris lavoie, hal sparks, jim ward, jacki. >> 4:00 p.m. on current today. see you tomorrow on "the stephanie miller show."
